Involvement of the Genetic Diversity of HIV-1 in the Virological Treatment Failure of First Line Antiretroviral in Kinshasa

Abstract: Background: Genetic diversity of human immunodeficiency virus affects the treatment and the emergence of resistance. Some subtypes would develop resistance more frequently than others. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of virological treatment failure and the involvement of genetic diversity and different mutations in this failure in Kinshasa. Methods: Of the 153 Antiretroviral-naive patients who were included in the cohort, 138 patients have been received for the appointment of the 6 th month. Cl… Show more

“…This EWI was respected at 58% of all ATCs thus giving a rate of 42% of patients lost sight in the first year while the targeted objective is less than 20% of patients lost of sight. This high rate of patients lost of sight had also been presented in previous studies in Kinshasa [9] [10]. This high rate of patients lost of sight was most likely due to the fact that most patients are not well aware of the fact that ART is a treatment for life once it is started; regardless of the improvement in the state of health.…”

“…However, the mutations K65R (2 cases), T69P/N (3 cases), K70R (5 cases) and M184V (5 cases) were listed as existing mutations for Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors. This confirms the strong genetic barrier attributed to DTG in the different literature in the field [17]. However, the mutations found are generally associated with resistance to Lamivudine-3TC (K65, T69, M184) and Tenofovir-TDF (K70) [17].…”

However, the mutations found are generally associated with resistance to Lamivudine-3TC (K65, T69, M184) and Tenofovir-TDF (K70) [17]. As a result, more than 14.52% of patients on ART, or 36% of patients with virological failure, are in a situation of failure because of the mutation which confers resistance to TDF.…”

“…However, the mutations K65R (3 cases), T69P/N (6 cases), K70R (9 cases) and M184V (8 cases) were listed as existing mutations for Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors. Even after the loss of patients, subtype A still remains dominant in the cohort of PLHIV on ART in Kinshasa, followed by CRF02 and subtype C. This is the profile presented for Kinshasa through the various available literatures [12] [13] [18]. After 6 months of ART, no mutation was found to induce resistance to DTG.…”

“…Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Nested PCR were performed on the extracted RNA to amplify regions of interest for Protease and Reverse Transcriptase (TR) for sequencing. The PCRs for sequencing were carried out under the conditions previously described in the literature [12] [13].…”
